Eight beaches worth visiting in Melbourne.

Lead: Although the summer in Melbourne hasn't arrived yet, it's good to go for a walk and swim at the seaside in the spring afternoon. The following are the most worthwhile beaches in Melbourne selected by The Herald Sun.

Eight beaches worth visiting in Melbourne 1. Blackstone's Half Moon Bay.

This winding bay has complete swimming and ship berthing facilities. The wreckage of the Royal Australian Navy ship Cerberus is only a little distance from the coast and is a hot spot for snorkeling. The surrounding cliffs make this beach picturesque and a good place for leisure or picnic. The nearby pier is very popular with young people. They often swim or dive there.

You can order fish and chips at the nearby grocery store, and then enjoy the waves and the beach generously. They will let you know with a portable buzzer when they are finished. Or you can book a table by the window at Cerberus Beach House restaurant, and enjoy the delicious food while watching the bright red sunset fall into the bay.

2. Hampton Beach

This beach is one of the most mysterious places in Melbourne. There are lifeguards patrolling here, and the beach is big enough for you to enjoy a pleasant seaside time. Brighton Beach Station is only a short way from here, but if you come from the south end of the beach, it is Hampton Station. It's not as lively as South Melbourne Beach and St Kilda Beach, but parking is more troublesome. If you don't like swimming very much, you can walk some distance to Sandringham Yacht Club, where you can rent a vertical single paddle surfboard or kite board.

3. Williamstown Beach

It is a well-known fact that it is the best beach in the West Side. This beach, located in the west of Ximen Bridge, has a long beach belt, which is cleaned every day and patrolled by lifeguards. The sea here is very shallow, especially suitable for children. It will be very lively here when the weather is hot, and it will be difficult to find a parking space if you are late. But Williamstown North Station is not far away. Besides snacks and food can be bought in restaurants and canteens in Sai Ren, there are also enough barbecue facilities here.

4. Altona Beach

It's as good as Williamstown beach, but it's not so crowded. The beach belt here is relatively long, and there is a pier for diving. Although there are many aquatic plants, this beach is also cleaned every day. There are many coffee shops and take-away food stores in Altona village. There is also a special kite surfing area, which is separate from the swimming area. Here, you can enjoy the magnificent sunset in Phillip Bay Harbor, and you can also see Potarlington and Cape Cook. The bus here is very convenient, and Altona Station can be reached within 5 minutes' walk from here.

5. South Martha Beach

The beach belt here is very wide, there are beach huts and the scenery is very good. Because there is a small bay, it is split in two. Lifeguards will patrol the northern end of South Beach. This place is not suitable for children to play. Fake dates can be crowded.

6. Go to North Beach in six minutes. Mornington

The sea here is very shallow, which is very suitable for a family to go swimming together. The beach is clean, with picnic tables and barbecue grills in the shade.

7. Long Beach

Located between Patterson River and Modlock, Lambich is a jewel in Melbourne's seaside crown. White sand and clear water are pleasing to the eye. That's not blowing.

8. Jungle Ranger Bay in Chenxi Peninsula National Park

Although it looks rougher than other beaches, the clear and calm beautiful beaches will definitely not let you down. But this beach surrounded by basalt cliffs is not suitable for swimming because of the big waves. But it's definitely worth a walk there. Don't miss walking along Main Creek from Bonoord parking lot (2.5km) or walking along Bushrangers Bay Track from Cape Schanck parking lot (2.6km).
